Aluminium sliding windows are a very common type of doors and windows. In the process of using aluminum alloy sliding windows, people may experience air leakage from the windows, so what is the reason for the air leakage of aluminum alloy sliding windows? How to solve the air leakage of aluminum alloy sliding window? Today, Baydee Upvc Profiles will answer them one by one for you.
1. What is the reason for the air leakage of aluminum alloy sliding windows?
1. The air leakage of aluminum alloy sliding windows may be due to the poor material of the sliding windows. If the material is poor, the window will be deformed after two or three years of use. Once deformed, the sealing performance will be poor, and air leakage will occur, so this also reminds the owner to pay special attention to the material when purchasing windows.
2. The air leakage of aluminum alloy sliding windows may be due to the failure of sealing when the sliding windows are installed. After the aluminum alloy sliding window is installed, the gap between the window frame and the wall needs to be filled with foam, and a sealing strip is attached to the periphery of the sliding window.
3. The air leakage of the aluminum alloy sliding window may be due to the aging, damage and cracking of the sealing strip. The aluminum alloy sliding window is exposed to the wind and the sun. After using it for a long time, the sealing strip may age and crack, resulting in air leakage of the aluminum alloy sliding window.
2. How to solve the air leakage of aluminum alloy sliding windows
1. When the material of the aluminum alloy sliding window is not good, which leads to the air leakage of the window, it is necessary to contact the manufacturer in time to solve the problem and replace the aluminum alloy sliding window that has passed the standard. When purchasing aluminum alloy sliding windows, pay attention to the material of the windows and window frames, and choose aluminum alloy sliding window products from regular manufacturers, because the quality and after-sales service of windows from regular manufacturers are more guaranteed.
2. When the sealing of the aluminum box into the sliding window is not done well, causing the window to leak, it is necessary to re-seal the aluminum alloy sliding window. Before the window is installed, the gap between the window frame and the wall needs to be filled with styrofoam. After the styrofoam is cured, apply sealant evenly around the window frame to prevent rainwater from infiltrating the room from the installation gap between the window and the wall, and to prevent air leakage.
3. When encountering the aging, damage and cracking of the sealing strip of the aluminum box into the sliding window, which leads to the air leakage of the window, it is necessary to replace the new sealing strip to solve the problem of air leakage. When replacing the sealing strip, it is necessary to choose the appropriate style of sealing strip. The shape and size should be in line with the shape of the window itself, and it must fit the window enough, and choose the appropriate model size. Next, choose a suitable professional sealant for bonding.
